Chiefs D looks exhausted

I still expect the Ravens to come back. Chiefs haven't put enough points on the board given how they've outplayed the Ravens

Easy call... Ravens are totally undisciplined

Wow! Finally the Ravens mistakes cost them

Ravens will come back and win. I thought I wanted that but I get annoyed seeing a team make boneheaded play after boneheaded play, bad throw after bad throw and get away with it.

FFS how many times is Lamar going to get lucky on bad throws?!

About to be 17-14 Ravens are a great 2nd half team and KC kept them in it

Totally 1 sided game except for the score.

Refs throwing flags every play this drive

They showed her! They showed her!

Giants could always do the "we're really having trouble getting coordinators to come in, plus it was a mess here last season" routine and still fire Daboll. More likely, though, is that Belichick is done coaching. Who is going to hire him next cycle when he'll be 73?

the thing is, a Magnum Opus is really dependent on the outcome, if you think about it If McDermott coaches the game of his life but the team loses, whereas in another season he makes a massive coaching blunder but is saved by the other team fumbling at a key moment, then the win will outshine the loss, regardless of the quality of the work.

I asked this question to both of my cats. Both agreed that yes, we are. And before you cite their limited experience with other fanbases, the cats watch a lot of ball.

if I was the HC some of you guys would fire me mid drive. My entire strategy would have been to get 2 1st downs, come hell or high water, and have the ball around the 7 or 8 1st down and goal. There would probably be about a minute on the clock. If KC had 1 timeout left by then, I would run on 1st down but instruct the RB to get as close as he can but not score. Then I would run the clock all the way down to 20 seconds or so. We still have out timeouts, so I take one here. Then, we take 2 end zone shots on 2nd and 3rd down from very close, where the whole playbook is open because we have a timeout still. If we score we're up 4 with less than 15 seconds left and KC has no timeouts. Worst case scenario we kick a FG from extra point distance with like 7 seconds left. It would be trading 1 down for 40 having 40 fewer seconds if we score to respond. It's the inverse of letting the other team score so you get the ball and have time to respond.

plus 72 isn't what it used to be. But it's still 72.

another special teams blunder that costs the team a win and McDermott will have to fire the DC this time around.

IF Bill is done now. IF Reid coaches another 6 years until he is the age that Bill is now. THEN Reid will have a legitimate shot at being seen as the GOAT. Reid will almost certainly have more HC wins than Belichick (and maybe Shula), a better coaching tree (by far), won with 2 different teams, won 100+ games BEFORE ever getting his superstar QB, and have had more success in the modern era with modern players (no "game has passed him by" argument. Bill will have the rings (probably) over Reid. But the GOAT debate will be loud and contentious, whereas now it's a "slam dunk." But Reid could still have 5-6 more years to pad his legacy.

Belichick can't even get a job. Wild! Probably because of his recent goofy staff/coordinator situations in NE.

nah, we all (rightly) love Allen and many of the other players, and the team wins a lot of games. Once you get into the tournament crazy things can happen. The Bucs were right there with the Lions most of that game, as were the Packers with the 49ers. We were very close to a Packers/Bucs NFC title game. So insane stuff happens in a 1 off playoff game where one muffed punt, one timely fumble, one holding call, can make all the difference.

Andy Reid is the true GOAT. As badly as Florio wants him to retire it aint happening. Think of it this way: Belichick is unemployed and basically nobody is interested but Atlanta. If Andy Reid and the Chiefs decided to "part ways" he would be the #1 sought after name out there. Why? Because he has won in 2 places and with multiple QBs. Belichick's success= Brady. It gets even better. If the hooded grump doesn't get a gig this cycle then Reid will almost certainly pass him in HC wins eventually. Reid is 6 years younger. The ONLY way Reid retires anytime soon is if he has some sort of health issue that we don't know about. Because if he retires and walks away from Mahomes he better hope he never gets that coaching itch again in a year or two.

Bills home games are legendary across the league, especially playoffs. Kelce, an Eagles player, even wanted to get in on the fun. It's a truly unique atmosphere. Like a college game, many players have said that. Our problem was not that homefield advantage wasn't enough, our problem was facing the GOAT HC (I still say that and will continue to) and an all time great QB. We have another possible all-time great QB and a decent HC. That's the difference, not the weather, how loud people are, or anything else.

the truth is that, whatever we or anyone else thinks, McDermott will be here for Allen's entire career. With Allen he will win a ton of games. Eventually he'll be the winningest coach in franchise history, regardless of any playoff success. Can't fire that guy. Remember the drought? That will always be the answer. So we must hope he either gets lucky (which could certainly happen) or finds the next Daboll but gets along with the guy.

can we just cut him and then pay him a legal settlement of $5 instead so it doesn't count against the cap? Look, unfortunate accident for Hines, but it's not the team's fault and he never has been an impact RB in the league. Now he's 27 and recovering from a torn ACL, so next season will be his Von Miller season, making it 2025 before he has a real impact, if ever.

sign Darnell Savage (S) from Green Bay if he gets to free agency. Up and down young player, but one thing McDermott does have a history of is getting the absolute most out of DBs He should be a moderate contract as well, so it could work. Poyer and Savage for 1 year?

I would feel sort of sad walking around with an AFC EAST CHAMPIONS t-shirt but that's just me. It means exactly the same as the Bucs NFC South title this season.
